Meijiang Prefecture is an important town in Yuezhou, with more than 20,000 defenders. In order to capture Meijiang Prefecture City, Bian Zhenhuan led an army of more than 100,000. It took half a month to attack Meijiang Prefecture City. Bian Zhenhuan's losses were huge, with more than 20,000 soldiers and generals. If the injury number was included, it had exceeded 30,000. However, being able to attack Meijiang Prefecture is definitely something worth celebrating for King Annan.

First of all, the attack on Meijiang Prefecture means that the whole province of Yuezhou was brought under the Annan King. From then on, there was only one voice in Yuezhou. The Great Zhou court, whether it was the orders of the emperor or the crown prince, had no effect in Yuezhou. No matter what the military and civilians in Yuezhou do, they had to listen to him.

Secondly, Yuezhou is located on the coast, and the Great Zhou Dynasty does not implement a maritime ban policy, so every prefecture in Yuezhou is extremely wealthy. Not to mention anything else, the silver deposited in the treasury of the prefecture of Meizhou Prefecture is as high as one million taels, which is a veritable superior prefecture.

Again, the fall of Meijiang Prefecture means that King Annan can effectively integrate the resources of the province and build Yuezhou into his base camp for attacking the north, concentrating the province's manpower, material resources, financial resources, and three forces, and attacking the north without any worries.

Compared with these benefits, the 20,000 troops lost seem to be nothing. The most important thing in the Zhou Dynasty is people. At worst, it is just to capture strong men and recruit people to join the army. It will soon be able to replenish 150,000 troops, and it will be fine if it increases several times.

Bian Zhenhuan rode on a snow-white tall horse. In front and behind his horse, there were a large number of guards, all of whom were tall, with bright armor and full of ambitions. This was the personal soldiers selected and trained by Bian Zhenhuan himself, and each had the ability to fight ten.

The Tongzhi of Meijiang Prefecture led thirty or forty officials, hundreds of local gentry and elders standing outside the Xicheng Gate to welcome Bian Zhenhuan's army into the city. The Tongzhi was probably attracted by King Annan for a lot of money. He seemed particularly hard at organizing people to welcome Bian Zhenhuan's army into the city, and organized the lion and dragon dance teams seriously, and he was quite inviting to welcome his soldiers into the city.

When Bian Zhenhuan rode his horse through the Xicheng Gate, Tongzhi took the lead in kneeling on the ground, "The commander's team is a kind and righteous teacher and a mighty teacher. We hope for the commander, just like a baby looking forward to his parents, looking forward to it. Today, the commander came to the city and rescued the people of Meijiang in the middle of the hanging of the sky and the earth. It can be said that he is grateful to the heaven and earth."

This Tongzhi was also from the imperial examination and was once a Tanhualang. He was very good at writing, and Emperor Shunde appointed him as Tanhualang. If Emperor Shunde, who was hiding deep in the palace to cultivate, knew that the Tanhualang he had appointed, was so popular with King Annan, and Bian Zhenhuan's stinky feet would have felt.

Bian Zhenhuan disliked this Tongzhi's character, but he also knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Meijiang Mansion and restore normal order to Meijiang Mansion in the shortest time, he could not live without people like Tongzhi.

He jumped off the horse and helped the Tongzhi up, "Master Bing, please come up quickly. You can lead the officials, gentry, military and civilians in Meijiang Prefecture to present the city. You have made great contributions. The prince will definitely reward you. I have written a memorial to the prince and reported your merits according to the truth. I believe that after reading it, you will at least promote you to the prefect of Meijiang Prefecture. At that time, I will ask Lord Bing for a glass of wedding wine."

The Tongzhi named Bing Jiajie. When Bian Zhenhuan helped him, he stood up. At the same time, a ten thousand taels of silver bill was directly stuffed into Bian Zhenhuan's hands. "In the future, the Xiaguan and the Grand Marshal will be officials in the same court. I will ask the Grand Marshal to say more good words to the Supreme Court in front of the prince."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Bian Zhenhuan would not think that money was too hot, nor did he think that accepting bribes in public would be something shameful.

Just as Bian Zhenhuan stuffed the silver notes into his sleeve bag, a cold sniff sounded, "What a pair of dog officials, one bribed in public, and the other accepted bribes. King Annan chose you as the head coach and the prefect. It's really a slut. Just you, it's just a delusion to attack the capital."

Bian Zhenhuan and Bing Jiajie were both dissatisfied. Without Bian Zhenhuan's orders, his personal soldiers rushed into the crowd and wanted to kill the talkative person in public.

Everyone in the crowd dodged one after another. Who dared to stay and let Bian Zhenhuan's personal soldiers arrest him? Wouldn't that be lifeless? Soon, the talkative man was lit up, two Taoist priests standing side by side.

"Who, the old man with bull's nose, who was insulting the great commander just now and tarnishing the great commander's reputation? Come out quickly, otherwise you two will be killed together." The leader of the personal guard said sternly.

"Is the bull's nose also called you, the mob? Should I hit it?"

A Taoist priest rushed into Bian Zhenhuan's personal guards like a ghost. He saw a black shadow flashing, and a loud slap sounded in the face. If he was not very sensitive, he might mistakenly think that there was only one slap. In fact, none of the personal guards rushed over were spared, and half of his face was swollen. The leader of the personal guards was the heaviest, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and spitting out a few teeth.

With a stumble, the guards pulled out their waists and surrounded the two Taoist priests.

These personal guards did not recognize goods, but Bian Zhenhuan was a person who knew goods. He quickly stopped them and "Stop." Bian Zhenhuan took a few steps, pushed away the personal guards blocking him, stood in front of the two Taoists, clasped their fists with both hands, and gave a deep salute, "I have not recognized the two immortal masters, offended the two. I am here to apologize for them."

When the guards heard this, they all shivered. When they thought that they wanted to siege two cultivators just now, a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on their backs.

The two Taoist priests snorted coldly, "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty."

Although Bian Zhenhuan was the commander who held the military power of more than 100,000 troops, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of these two Taoists.

Since he secretly defected to King Annan, King Annan showed him some methods of cultivators to calm his heart and let him understand some of the power of cultivation he had mastered.

The ignorant is fearless, and Bian Zhenhuan is no longer a complete layman. After he understood the methods of cultivators, he developed great fear of cultivators.

These two Taoist priests have unknown origins, but they seem to have quite high methods. It seems that they are not impossible to take his head in the chaos. Bian Zhenhuan finally won his current power and status, so he naturally does not want to sacrifice his life and ruin his future for a little verbal dispute or inadequate etiquette.

"Two immortal masters, I intend to invite you to the city together. After arriving in the city, let's sit down together and have a good chat. If you have anything you need to do, just speak, I will definitely agree with it." Bian Zhenhuan tried his best to make these two Taoist priests.

The two Taoist priests looked at each other, then nodded, "Since Bian Jiangjun is so sincere, we brothers and sisters will follow you."

Bian Zhenhuan was very happy and quickly asked someone to prepare horses with two Taoist priests. Then the three of them walked together and entered Meijiang Mansion. Bian Zhenhuan honestly and unceremoniously set up his headquarters in the home of the largest rich man in Meijiang Mansion.

At the command of Bian Zhenhuan, someone immediately began to prepare a sumptuous banquet. Now that the banquet is ready, someone will report it at any time when it can start, someone will suddenly come to report it.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, three more Taoist priests dressed up in the mansion came outside the gate. The leader was a middle-aged man who didn't speak much. There was also a young Taoist priest with a stove embroidered with a cover on his cuffs. In addition, there was a young Taoist priest, who looked like a servant.

The Taoist priest with an uncovered stove embroidered with a cuff was very arrogant and said that he would only give the Grandmaster a cup of tea. If a cup of tea passed, the Grandmaster would not kneel outside the mansion to greet him. He turned around and left. In the future, even if the Grandmaster personally carried the eight-carriage sedan chair and invited him, he would not come."

Bian Zhenhuan frowned, "The madman from there? Kill me away with sticks. If they don't know the opportunity, they will kill me. Please let them bother me to have a deep conversation with the two immortal masters."

"Slow down." Before Bian Zhenhuan finished speaking, the older one of the two Taoist priests stood up. "Bian Jiangjun, we'd better go out and have a look. I'm afraid that the three people who came this time will not be simple. If we neglect him, we will have great trouble."

Bian Zhenhuan was shocked, "Immortal Master, do you know the three Taoist priests outside the mansion? They are of great origin?"

The Taoist priest said, "If I was not wrong, I should have met several times with the three fellow Taoists outside the mansion. As for how big they are, I will tell you this way. Is the Shunde Emperor of Great Zhou a big background? When I see the middle-aged fellow Taoist among the three of them, I have to bow my head."

Bian Zhenhuan was even more surprised. He had seen Emperor Shunde and felt that Emperor Shunde's emperor's heart was the most difficult thing to guess. Emperor Shunde could hold the throne of the emperor for fifty-seven years, and that was a man with several tricks. Moreover, he knew that Emperor Shunde was strong and there seemed to be nothing in the world, so he could bow his head and bend down. Unexpectedly, there was someone who could make Emperor Shunde surrender so much. Such a person must meet.

"Okay, the two immortal masters, please let me go to the outside of the mansion to welcome the three Taoists," said Bian Zhenhuan.

The two Taoist priests stood up together, dusted their sleeves, and tidied their clothes. One took out the whisk, and the other took out a handful of jade Ruyi, which was held on the bend of his arms, and they all became immortal.

Seeing that the two Taoist priests were so serious, Bian Zhenhuan became a little restrained. The three of them arrived outside the mansion together. Before Bian Zhenhuan could speak, the two Taoist priests exclaimed, "Oh, why are you here?"
